Travel Teams offers experience with sharing your faith, learning many ministry skills, giving testimonies, building team relationships, and so much more! Team members memorize scripture, learn to spend quality time with God, are a part of a discipleship group, and learn how to work hard. Foundational character qualities will be emphasized and taught by pastors, national ministry leaders, and trained adult mentors.

Teams generally have between 20 – 30 members, with the ratio of adult leaders to students as 1:5 to encourage quality training.

No matter what stage of spiritual growth and development a student is at coming into the summer experience, they can leave having grown by leaps and bounds, ready to return with a heart to serve God and others. Travel teams won’t focus on performance based skills that have been associated with Operation Barnabas in the past in order to better expose students to various ministry models and equip them with a Biblical framework of servant leadership within the context of the local church.

Travel Teams are for any high school student regardless of their involvement in their youth ministry and/or leadership structure. However, for those ministry minded students who have shown a desire to pursue ministry leadership we are adding a student leadership level within both of our summer travel teams. These students have opportunities to learn additional principles and be challenged in leadership engagement in greater ways upon returning home.

This Travel Team is for students who are interested in pursuing specialized training in leading worship. Whether playing an instrument, singing, planning and leading a worship set, or even assisting with technical pieces behind the scenes, this is a can’t miss opportunity in which students will gain the personal and spiritual growth associated to Travel Teams as well as specialized training from professionals and experts in these fields!
